The Royal Enfield Himalayan is powered by a 411cc  air-cooled single-cylinder engine. Known as  LS410 (Long Stroke 410), this engine is designed to  balance  power, torque and fuel economy, making it suitable for both on-road and off-road riding. The 411cc engine puts out a modest but sufficient 24.3 horsepower and 32 Nm of torque. This power  is sufficient for highway riding while also providing strong low-end torque, essential for off-road riding. The engine’s long-stroke design improves torque delivery, making it easier to climb steep hills and overcome challenging terrains. The Himalayan’s engine is equipped with a state-of-the-art fuel injection system. This system ensures precise fuel delivery, improving combustion efficiency and overall performance. Fuel injection also improves reliability, making the engine more responsive and easier to start in a variety of weather conditions. The engine’s air-cooled design  reduces complexity and weight, contributing to the motorcycle’s overall durability and ease of maintenance. Air-cooled engines are known for their reliability and ability to handle a variety of riding conditions, making them ideal for adventure bikes. Despite its relatively small displacement, the LS410 engine is designed for fuel efficiency, allowing drivers to travel long distances without frequent refueling stops. This efficiency is especially important for adventure bikes that may travel in fuel-limited areas.
